TwonkyServer won't display subfolders in "by folder" view
Posted: Fri Dec 23, 2011 7:56 pm
Hey everyone,
I recently got a QNAP TP-219P+ NAS that brings along TwonkyServer to share media across the network. However, I haven't been able to sort out this one problem -- and it's kinda driving me crazy.
Note that today i also updated the NAS's firmware today, and it now runs TS 6.0.34
TS finds and shares media just fine, and the media server is visible on my network, but in none of the three categories (music, pictures, videos) can I see any subfolders in the "by folder" view. Instead, the only entry in there is "<current folder>" which lists all media files of the respective type (which are several thousand, which is just impossible to navigate through).
I've tried changing the TS Media Receivers options to any of the other views (restarting TS after changing it), but still there is no change.
I'm using Windows Media Player 12 as a client (both my computers run Win7 Pro 64bit) -- which I'm not very happy about, but which seems to be the only real option for windows. I'd especially like to get it to work with Windows Media, so i can use the Media Center that comes with Win7. (Media Center works well, and I've used media sharing between my two computers without problems)
Oh yeah, let me emphasize that. Media sharing works fine between the two computers directly (i.e. the subfolders are visible and usable there)
Unfortunately I have no other client hard/software I can use to rule out a problem with TS itself.
I've looked around the internet and these forums, but can't seen to find anything that is similar to this problem.
Apparently this isn't very common, or no one else navigates their media by folder.
I hope someone has some ideas and can help me, i'm really out of ideas here.
Best regards and thanks in advance,
Nevik
